Sleek Storm Palette

First of all i need to say this is my absolute favourite palette that i own! I purchased it on summer whilst on holiday by the coast as I'd seen so many youtubers and bloggers mention it. I can see why everyone loves it! It was such a good price too.

So this is what the actual palette looks like (sorry about it being over exposed and really white)
Ignore how mine is covered in make up! But it has lovely packaging, thats simple but chic.

So here are the shades...

As you can clearly see I've hit pan on the neutral shade, which I have been using every day all over my eye lid just to even out the colouring and make my eyes look brighter

There are a mix of matte shades and some shimmery shades. I use the black over my pencil eyeliner to make it stay longer and the matte brown next to it to fill in my eyebrows with as my E.LF. eyebrow kit has almost run out :(



As you can see the colours are so pigmented, and this was without a primer underneath them as well.

Overall I would definitely recommend this palette to anyone since it has wearable everyday colours but can also be used to create a night time look. I love that there is a variety of both matte and shimmery shades and especially that there's a matte black eyeshadow which I put over the top of my eyeliner to make it stay longer.

You can purchase it from Superdrug and it's only £6.49 so it's a bargain for the 12 shades!

Revlon photoready or Revlon colour stay?

I need to buy a new foundation but as i've never tried revlon photoready or revlon colour stay i have no idea which one to get?!

The reviews on the colour stay seem to say it has better coverage however...

the revlon photoready is meant to last for hours! So i'm completely unsure on what one to buy, they both cost the same, so please can someone help me on what to buy?!

I've got combination skin if thats any help?

Small make up haul

I bought these things in a blog sale recently and here's what i got :)

 So this is the first thing i got and it's just a light pink/nude lipgloss which smells amazing! I wouldn't wear it on it's own, but I'd definitly wear it over a nude lipstick :)

So this is the next thing i got next (I was most excited for this as i love blush!)
it's a maybelline dream touch blush in shade 6

This is the colour before it's blended in, it's a really pretty pink but not so wearable...

And this is it blended out, its a really pretty colour :) it's not very autumnal but i'll save it for summer :)

Next up i got two nail varnishes

This is the first one which is a No 7 one and it's in the colour 'Temptress'

It's such a beautiful dark purple colour which is perfect for autumn/winter!


Finally the last thing i bought was a mac nail varnish
It's such a gorgeous red and i can't wait to wear it!

I'll make sure I do a nail of the day (NOTD) when i do :)

Hope everyone's okay xxx

Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer | Review

Recently I ran out of my avon magix primer and so I needed a new one as I hate not wearing primer under my foundation! So I thought it was time to buy a new one, and i went for something i hadn't tried before and quite a few people had mentioned this.

I first saw Brogan mentioning it on her blog and since I love her blog and youtube videos I thought I should try it.


Okay so here is what it looks like. It claims to do five things which are:
  • Smooths
  • Resurfaces
  • Brightens
  • Mattifies
  • Protects
I would say it definitely does all of these things! And for only £6.99 from Boots it's a complete bargain. 
It makes definitely does its job in making my foundation last longer, and it hasn't broken me out either which is a bonus since I have quite sensitive skin at times. It really smooths out my skin and gives me an even base to apply my foundation to.


One thing I would advise anyone on who buys this, is once you think it's empty, cut it in half and there's still a lot more product left!

new cute rings!

so the other day i made a really short and quick post about some new ring's i'd bought recently, well here's the proper post i wanted to do about them!


I got these five rings from here and unfortunately they are sold out now as the mix, but you can still buy them as single rings here. I paid £10 for the 5 rings and only £2.50 postage and they came really quickly!

I have been looking for rings like this for a while but all the ones i found were about £10 each and I can't afford to spend that on one ring right now so i thought this was a bargain :)


ignore my really chubby fingers, but these are two of my favourite rings, they're both so pretty!
